You, a druid, go to practice Taoism?.

Chapter 171 [Natural Perception] New usage, a simplified version of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune?
[Natural Perception] can predict good and bad luck, and is Qi Ping's only mysterious skill that can detect danger in advance.

In the game, this skill is only useful in specific copies, but in the world of immortal cultivation, Qi Ping can use it at any time, but it is still limited to the passive trigger state and can only be used in special situations.

But Qi Ping still felt that there was a risk. The passive triggering had too many limitations, and in some special circumstances it might be too late.

So in the past few months, Qi Ping has been trying to study the conditions for actively triggering [Natural Perception].

And the corresponding results of what is sensed after the trigger.

With Qi Ping's hard work and testing, he really tested out something!

That is, Qi Ping concentrates all his mind on what he is going to do. If this thing will bring danger or good things, it will produce a certain sense of good or bad luck.

For example, a month ago, the bees discovered a group of first-stage late-stage magic insects in the Yunwu Mountains. Qi Ping concentrated his mind and imagined himself letting go of all his spiritual defenses and passing by the location of the magic insects. [Natural Perception] gave him a slight sense of danger, but the sense was not strong.

In other words, this poses a certain risk to Qi Ping, but the risk is not high.

Qi Ping then tested some similar situations and found that it is indeed possible to actively trigger [Natural Perception] in this way!
The only price might be some mental effort.

Then Qi Ping tried to expand the range, for example, walking through a large area near the magic insects, and found that his natural perception would still be sensitive, but it would be much weaker.

Finally, Qi Ping expanded the scope again. For example, he put down all defenses and walked around in the large area near the magic insects. As a result, he found that the perception of danger was exactly the same as when he actively passed by the magic insects!
However, this consumed so much of Qi Ping's energy that he almost collapsed during the Foundation Establishment Stage. It took Qi Ping a long time to recover.

After many tests by Qi Ping, he finally figured out a preliminary method to actively trigger the [Natural Perception] skill.

In terms of mental consumption, the higher the level of the test object, the more mental consumption will be.

"Magic skill!"

"This is the real magic skill!"

After Qi Ping tested out the usage of the [Natural Perception] skill, he was really excited.

What he fears most now is encountering danger when going out, or encountering danger when trading with others.

But now that he can actively trigger natural perception, it is much easier to do things, because he can test it with natural perception before doing anything, so he will have a better idea before doing anything.

Almost around the same time that Qi Ping completed the test of natural perception, the second-level bee colony was officially cultivated.

After completely consuming the energy of the spiritual stone pillar, the second-level bee colony cultivation has reached its limit. If Qi Ping does not obtain the essence of the spiritual vein, his cultivation, spiritual medicine cultivation, and animal companion cultivation will basically be suspended.

The spiritual energy absorbed by the Star Spirit Wood (Spirit Gathering Technique) alone can only maintain Qi Ping's daily needs.

"Two hundred and thirty ground bees, twenty each of pharmacist bees, blood bees, scout bees, poisonous bees, and balance bees, and five mountain-moving bees."

“Not bad!”

After the bees advance to the second stage, they are already larger than a fist and are no longer as easy to cultivate as they were at the first stage.

However, as their size increases, the individual combat power of bees is also increasing, and the number of bees needed to deal with monks of the same level is not as large as when they were in the first stage.

After the ground bees were bred, Qi Ping engraved the formation using the ground bees as the foundation.

Once this formation is activated, it can increase the strength of the bees by about 20% to 30%, and can also increase the attack and defense of some bees.

For example, if there is a group of bees that are attacked more by the enemy, Qi Ping can manipulate the power of the formation to concentrate it on those bees.

Although the battle formation that Qi Ping developed himself is far inferior to the truly powerful battle formation, it is still good for temporary use.

After the formation was engraved, Qi Ping fought with the 230 ground bees that activated the formation. The final result also made Qi Ping quite satisfied. Although his defense was naturally impossible to be broken by more than 200 ground bees, it was still quite a headache.

The ground bees from all directions kept attacking him from various angles, forcing him to use all his strength to defend himself, which was quite exhausting for Qi Ping himself.

However, these ground bees are good at defense, and with the support of the formation and their flexible movement in all directions, it is extremely difficult for Qi Ping to fight them.

The Pyrotechnic Fireball really feels like using a cannon to kill a mosquito. The key is that if you don't attack with all your strength, you won't be able to break the defense of the Ground Bee.

Since the ground bees could attack from a distance and flexibly adjust their attack positions according to the battle formation, Qi Ping did not get the chance to concentrate his attack.

"Not bad, not bad. Although it is still far from being able to kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it is completely enough to contain him. If the Foundation Establishment cultivator is weak, there may still be a chance to kill him."

After some combat tests, Qi Ping was still very satisfied with the combat capabilities of these ground bees.

He was already very satisfied that more than 200 ground bees could achieve this level. The ground bees, with the support of battle formations and tactics, were indeed very difficult to deal with.

If the number of these ground bees reaches one thousand, their combat power will reach a level that will make cultivators in the early stage of foundation building shudder.

"We have almost finished preparing everything. Let's go!"

After everything was ready, Qi Ping took the bee colony and crows with him, and left enough defensive forces in the formation. Then, he stepped out of the Yunwu Mountains for the first time in more than a year.

He is now preparing to set out to find Old Man Zhou.

On the way to the mortal world, Qi Ping would use [Natural Perception] from time to time to sense the good and bad luck on his route. Only after he found that there were no bad omens would he continue to move forward.

Although it was a bit troublesome, Qi Ping was happy about it.

He hasn't felt so relaxed outside since the Qingtian Realm fell into chaos.

This feeling of being able to predict good and bad luck is really wonderful.

However, Qi Ping did not relax because of this. After all, this kind of mysterious skill must have limitations. For example, if he encountered a being that could avoid this kind of skill, or a being that was far superior to himself, it could bring danger.

So even though he had natural perception that could predict good or bad luck in advance, Qi Ping did not dare to be careless at all.

"The mortal world should be ahead!"

After walking for a long time, Qi Ping sensed the spiritual energy in front of him that was so thin that it was almost difficult to sense, and he knew that he was about to leave the world of immortal cultivation.

This is the first time Qi Ping has set foot in the mortal world since he traveled through the world.

It was not until he sensed the almost disappearing spiritual energy in the mortal world that Qi Ping knew what it meant to have thin spiritual energy. In comparison, the spiritual energy deep in the Yunwu Mountains was considered very rich. No wonder it was so difficult for cultivators to stay in the mortal world.

Finally, after passing through a forest full of poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, Qi Ping finally entered the mortal world.

This forest is the long barrier that separates the mortal world and the immortal world. Only immortal cultivators can safely cross it and reach the immortal world.

After entering the mortal world, Qi Ping followed the address given by Old Man Zhou and simulated the route to skillfully trigger his natural perception.

Qi Ping originally thought that it would be the same as before, with no feeling at all, but in fact, a good sign appeared in Qi Ping's perception.

"A good omen? How can there be a good omen in the mortal world?"
